The Von-Neumann Ordinals Series

"The Von Neumann Ordinals Series". Digital, printed on metal.

This work visualizes the numbers 0 through 10 as sets. Sets are fundamental entities used by mathematicians as a theoretical foundation to define nearly all mathematical objects. The appeal of set theory is the simplicity of its fundamental principles. The Von Neumann ordinals are defined in such a way as to keep numbers in order, even those that are infinite.
